This Is Our Hawaiʻi: Episode 5 - Lahaina land grab rumors reveal an erosion of trust

When a devastating wildfire swept through Lahaina, residents found connection and support on social media. But they also found a rumor claiming that FEMA could seize land from property owners who applied for disaster assistance.
While the rumor is false, it revealed an erosion of trust between the community and the government.
This is the fifth installment of This is Our Hawaiʻi, a new podcast from Hawaiʻi Public Radio. Local support provided by Bess Press.

The people who put their trust in government are realising government wont save them?

[@tarawaukeri8928]

It's not a land grab...it's tyranny. Correct me if I'm wrong, Hawaii is a nation occupied by a foreign government, that government being the U.S

Additional truth........United States of America is a CORPORATION (a business) not a republic that gives consent to govern.
